HELP !!!! HELP !!!!

Iīm gona put the CTR 12.1 pistons on my 98 ITR on my Honda dealer.

There is something diferente on the 4 pistons, 2 are HF1 and 2 are HF2, whatīs the diference bettwen them and do they have to be mounted in a special setup according to the HF1 and HF2 ?

I need help on this guys, they canīt canīt figure out the diference on the pistons or any special mount on them.

Please, need answers, whatīs the setup ?

Thanks,

Pinota

 

I just wanna know how much the dealer is charging you.

 

how much ????

 

May not be a fair comparison since he lives in Lisbon Portugal.

As long as the part numbers on the boxes are the same you should be fine.

 

No problem with the pistons, i bought them from Darkteg, theyīre the real CTR pistons, he bought them from JDMhondaparts with rings and pins.

Iīll pay to my Toyota dealer $450 for the install plus new 16 valve seals, and a lot of OEM material for the block and head, OEM parts will coast $250 plus the pistons.
Thereīs a lot of work there, about 16 hours.

Can someone explain me what means HF1 and HF2, does it means any install method ?

Thanks,

Pinota

 

My piston are just like these:

The pistons on the pics of the JDMhondaparts site are diferente.

Thanks in advance.

ialready answered your question. what more do you want

 

Huh?

 

Ok, the part number in the boxes are the same.

About HF1 or HF2 numbers on the piston, any diference on them or install diference ?

Sorry, but iīm worry about this.

Thanks,

Pinota

 

Why don't you pull out a dail caliper or even a ruler and messure the 2 pistons and see if there is a difference.

 

 

Why would they be labeled 'HF1 and or HF2'?

that is the question that he has that is not answered...

 

Probably the same reason why B16A heads are randomly labeled PR3-1234

 

Funny!
I don't think that's what they wanted to hear.

I hear there's a lot of "stuff" growing wild around the Misawa Air Base!
Yeah, ... been a long day.

 

Where is this Misawa Air Base

I still think your best bet is to messure the bastards... or just install them and see what happens

 

There is no order, but it would help to have them balanced after they are pressed on the rods before you have everything installed.

 

Better to have the rods and pistons balanced separately than together.

 

That is the proper way....

 

Northern most Japan.
Little bro told me.

Little stupid ****** had to go and get T-boned in his Prelude while over there ... again!!

 

mmmmm Japans greens... to bad its a little out of my way
